Emissions test: how we help
Your 2008 Mazda RX-8 needs an emissions test? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
About your RX-8
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The 1.3L 2-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
From request to repair
Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
Keep moving meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
What to ask
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Between shop visits
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Ask us
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
